The Sky is Falling

Gravity pulls. Here's an explanation for kids.

What Is Gravity? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids

Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center.

I noticed his comment, but it's just a syntax error. We knew what he meant.

It would be an award winning skeet shot though.

I'm pretty confident we could shoot it down. We can shoot down ICBMs (I think?) And they go 10x terminal velocity. And if conventional weapons tech doesn't pull through, we have space lasers. And a space force... right? I never followed up on that story. Do we have a space force or not?

Shoot it down so it doesn’t fall?
That’s like when there’s a suicidal jumper on the edge of a building and police don’t want him jumping into traffic so they shoot him down.

I just went outside and shot my rifle up into the air.
I must of hit it, I’m 100% confident it’s going down.

Smaller pieces will burn up in the atmosphere before reaching the Earth. Left intact, it may not; instead leaving a big hole someplace on impact. It's not rocket science...
Oh wait a minute. It is.

Spread viruses, enslave a million muslims, dump space junk....
no biggie
lol

gravity is pushing it down

Pushing it down or pulling it down?

So we should shoot at someone else's rocket junk piece just like a global policeman eh?

Oh, not to worry. It’s all just an accident and not on purpose or anything.

Also, I have a golden bridge on the west coast I can sell you pretty cheap.

Syntax, spelling and conceptual error.

Well, I’d prefer the CCP did it, but if left no choice and people could die from being crushed to death, it could be a good idea.
Maybe a giant space station laser could be used?
The CCP has them, we don’t....
